MUMBAI, India, Sept. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641105820 A) filed by Francis Xavier Engineering College on September 02, 2026, for Design And Development Of An Automated Flow-Based Concentration System With Backflush Mechanism For Low-Volume High-Concentration Sample Preparation.
Inventors include Mr. Benhur Lee A. K; Mr. Sahaya Saron P; Mr. Surya K; Mr. David Samson A; Ms. Alfreda Jenilyn N; Mrs. M. Radha; and Dr. K. Lakshmi Narayanan.
The application for the patent was published on September 11, 2026, under issue no. 37/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated flow-based concentration system and method for preparing a low-volume, high-concentration sample from an initially larger-volume and comparatively low-concentration sample. The system comprises a sample receiving arrangement, a controlled fluidic pathway, a concentration element, a flow-control arrangement, a recovery arrangement, one or more sensors, a flushing arrangement, a backflush mechanism, and an electronic controller. During operation, an input sample is transported through the concentration element under controlled hydraulic conditions, whereby at least a portion of a carrier fluid is separated while a desired constituent is retained or concentrated. The controller monitors one or more operating parameters including flow rate, pressure, pressure differential, processed volume, processing time, or other sensor-derived.
